Someone becoming a Saint had the potential to influence the outcome of the battle and upset the balance.
This was especially true since everyone in previous instances of the Battle of the Crimson River had already been outstanding fighters. Once they became a Saint, they could sweep away all opponents.
Therefore, in previous Battles of the Crimson River, it had not necessarily been a good thing to become a Saint during the battle.
And sure enough, many gazes fell upon Ye Wuchen at that moment.
A cold light flashed in Xing Chou and Xiang Nan's eyes, two of the people who were most favored to win.
It was not that they bore any ill will towards Ye Wuchen. It was just that him becoming a Saint during the battle would affect them.
In light of this situation, they would have to deal with him before he completed his transformation into a Saint.
